Part. 15 – Crisis – of Sketchbook Journey is now live
I made Skethcbook Journey in an attempt to destroy myself, and being able to let go of that throughout this entry, today provides a lingering melancholy mixed with gratitude.

From a learning/drawing pov: I never really knew just *how much* personal issues can stand in the way of genuine curiosity, meaning: The conclusions I draw aren't new to me – The entire goal of Sketchbook Journey *was* to BE impressive. What changed, and what helps me stay calm, was to uncover my own suppressed feelings from childhood; everything that 'is not okay', including being bad at something. Piecing it together with how I act and think today, allowed me to let go of the need to always protect myself behind a wall of 'I am better than you at this'.

As a result, I'm calm for the first time. And that makes drawing a lot less scary, as I don't urge to be impressive in everything I do, everywhere I go, like when I started Sketchbook Journey.

Was cleaning out some old harddrives when I stumbled over previously unseen images of the PMC Museum I built 6 years ago. I've added the images to the post + added a terms of use for all my builds. Here's the one photo I had forgotten about, that I think goes the hardest

Excalidraw has been discovered

Silly goofy idea I had for a story: Succubus comes to human world to do succubus stuff, ends up falling in love with the food culture, goes out in the world to explore different food cultures.

I have discovered the appeal of drawing catgirls (I must now give all anime women cat ears)

Sketchbook Journey pt. 14 is now available!

In this entry, I focus primarily on hands and connecting the upper and lower torso together to draw a more coherent (and consistent) full-torso figure. However, I’m also realizing throughout this process how limited my abilities still seem to be. Just when I think, “Ah, I must’ve finally hit rock bottom, and it’s only up from here,” I get hit with a reality check so big it makes me want to quit.

But I’m still here, still going! Hope you all enjoy it!

Actually pretty cool to see my work being used in a video with 1.7m views :'D



Though a bit shocked that a channel that big does not give credit. I'm a nobody though, so it's not like me whining about it will change it lol –> let's instead celebrate that my build was used to make something fun :D

Seems my little crash-out got through somehow, and Cyprezz managed to figure out what was going wrong with uploading to the PMC servers. Thanks for taking my issue seriously :)

I have been spending quite a bit of time reworking my Neocities website, and actually came back to move all of the Sketchbook Journey entries to the website, because I finished coding the templates and frameworks to make it work.

Which now means, I'm in a slight pickle hehe. For the sake of simplicity / giving me less work, I'll spend some time moving all of the entries over to my website, and then I'll use a code-converter to convert all new entries from html code over to BBSource Code (Aka. The code that the PMC editor is using).

So will still be a while before new uploads, but I'll upload pt. 14 of Sketchbook journey, as soon as I'm done moving everything :)

Honestly, I give up. I keep getting the same 503 error every time I try to upload even a 20kb image file as a banner on PMC, and its been like this for the past 3 months.

So I guess no more uploads :I


Bye for now
